Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has travelled to the Netherlands for a surprise visit to the city that is home to the International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin.

Mr Zelenskyy’s visit to The Hague, which hosts the ICC and the United Nations’ top judicial organ, the International Court of Justice, came a day after he denied that Ukrainian forces were responsible for what the Kremlin called an attempt to assassinate Mr Putin in a drone attack.
